GIVING AND TAKING.
Some Pertinent Remarks on a Subject of
Great Importance.

Some Pertinent Remarks a Subject of
Great Importance.
In many a case, it is doing more for
a person to receive a gift or a service
from him, than to give a gift or to
render a service to him. just because
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive, we have no right to be always
taking that blessing to ourselves; but
we should permit others to gain their
share of it. A child is helped by being
privileged to give gift to his parents,
or to render q service to some one
whom he loves and honors A scholar
is worth more in a class, through con-
tributing to the stock of its common
knowledge; and the class is worth
more to him in consequence. Mind
and character are develo ped through
their exercises, and are gamers
through their outlay; hence, in every
sphere of life there is an attainment
which is possible only through self
denial and self-eXpenditure Our duty
toward others involves a looking at
their needs in more directions than
one; and in order to the meeting of
their need of this aid to their highest
development of mind and character,
we must often permit them to be
givers and doors, when we should re-
ally find more personal enjoyment in
comforting favors than in receiving
them.-S. S. Times.

Temperature of the Skin.

Though the interior of the body re-
tains a quite constant heat of SO to 100
degrees, the temperature of the skin
varies considerably in different parts.
Prof. Kunkel, at Wurzburg, has just
found that in the face in adult men it
ranges from IS to SO degrees. The
skin of the more exposed parts of the
body, the nose and the ears, shows a
lower temperature, seldom exceeding
rs degrees, and even descending to
715. The highest surface temper
allure appears in men in the full vigor
of life, and the remarkable fact is OBJ
served that the skin of children is cool
er than that of adults-being from "
to "a degrees. -ArkaaaSaa0 Irdveler.

Dyspepsi ais dreadful. Disordered liver
Is misery. Indigestion is foe to good
nature. The human digestive apparatus
is one OF the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bu-
siness and making the American people
so healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember;-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

The sloop yacht, Mystery, loaded
to the gunwales with women and
children, was capsized Sunday eve
ming near New York and - persons
drowned, A press dispatch says /;
"The party which was involved in
this disaster was made up chiefly Of
German families, resident in Brooklyn
and Long Island City. They had
gone to Canarsie by the early trans,
and hired two yachts, the Mystery
and Christina, to take them to Ruille
bar. The fathers of several of the
families preferred to remain about
Canarsie, which accounts to some eN-
tent for the preponderance of the
women and children. The boats had
carried out plentiful supply of beer,
which was served around with free
hand and the men showed the effect
of this so much that the women and
children were put aboard the Mystery
in charge of Capt, Hendrickson and
his nine year old boy. 1t is asserted
that Hendrickson was under the in
huence of liquor also. The wind was
very fresh but in spite of the passen-
gers protests Hendrickson let out a
reef just as squall of some violence
struck the yacht which was low in the
water and even heeling dangerously.
In a second the yacht, was on her
beam-ends, and all the people who
had been on deck were struggling in
the choppy sea"

of God before him nor the love of
truth lurking in his mmanly breast,
started a story, some few weeks ago,
that the administration having re-

the new officials. OF course this is
entirely false, and the only man that
believes it is the genius that thinks

All you know be sure to tell,
Be you Saint, or be you Sinner
Trip at all the hayward feet,
Should neighbor stumble, kick him,
Making misery more complete,
L sister does not please you
Sound abroad your tale of woe,
Tell the wrong, perhaps twill ease YOU;
Is she faulty keep her so,
Never let brothers failings
Pass unseen by curious eyes,
DO not waste advice OF pity,
While his weakness you desplsc.

Getting tipsy now and then,
Slight him, brand him, keep him sinking
While the masses act amen.

Some impugn lecherOus sinner,
Yet, the Sabbath breaker spare,
| Others sorn to steal or murder,
| But they covet,-li and swear.
SO I'm puzzled, yes, I'm wondering
Which can be the guilty half.
So mixed up the good and laundering,
Who can tell the wheat from char?
Wheat may grow where least expected,
! Bearing fruit, hundred fold,
And the chat is oft detected
| Where the show of wheat is bold.

Human judgment may be wrong,
Though it be so oft paraded

| With our own than others sins.
